Skillshare

Skillshare is a New York City–based online learning community for creators, founded in 2010 by Michael Karnjanaprakorn and Malcolm Ong. The platform hosts thousands of on-demand video classes across creative disciplines — illustration, design, photography, animation, lettering, film, productivity, writing, and business — taught by working creators and industry professionals. Skillshare operates on a paid subscription model (Premium membership) that grants members unlimited access to the class catalog, project-based learning, and a discussion community where students submit class projects for feedback. The company has a teacher revenue-share program in which class creators are paid based on watch time and student enrollments, and runs Skillshare for Teams as a B2B offering for organizations to give employees access to the catalog. Skillshare does not publish a public developer API, OpenAPI specification, partner API, or SDK. The platform's programmatic surface is limited to internal web/mobile clients and an affiliate/marketing referral program; there is no documented developer portal, public webhook system, or third-party integration API for the Skillshare catalog, enrollments, watch-time, or teacher-payout data.

Skillshare is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Online Learning, E-Learning, Creative Education, Video Courses, and Subscription Learning.

Skillshare’s developer surface includes engineering blog, GitHub presence, YouTube channel, and 16 more developer resources.
